Appliance backups are files that are used to restore your appliance in the event of a data loss or other disaster.

There are two kinds of appliance backup files:

•
Base: A backup of the file system. Base backup files are generally created once a week.
•
Differential: A backup of the Base (file system) files that have changed since the most recent Base backup and a backup of database files. Differential backups reference the most recent Base backup file available.

To restore files, you must have a matched pair of Differential and Base backup files. Paired backup files reference the same appliance version number and date, and only paired backup files can be used to restore the appliance.

* 
NOTE: Backups are created while the appliance is running. The appliance is not taken offline during the backup process. Restoring the appliance to a backup and resetting the appliance to factory settings, however, continue to require that the appliance be taken offline.

In addition, there are three types of backup processes:

•
Scheduled daily backups: In most cases, daily backups include only Differential backup files. If there is no Base backup, or if the most recent Base backup is more than seven days old, the daily backup includes both Base and Differential backup files. This backup is known as a full backup. By default, daily backups are scheduled to occur at 02:00, but you can change that schedule. See Set the daily backup schedule and the number of backups to retain.
•
Scheduled monthly backups: Monthly backups occur on the last day of the month, and you cannot change the schedule of monthly backups. This backup includes the most recent Base backup and the latest Differential backup files collected after the Base backup.
•
Backups initiated using the Run Now command: When you click Run Now on the Backup Settings page, the appliance generates a full backup, which includes both Base and Differential backup files.

You can disable backups, which schedules existing backup data for deletion and disables daily and monthly backups. See Disable or enable appliance backups.

* 
TIP: Always back up appliance data before installing updates or upgrading appliance software.
